Fashion and film “Made in Germany” have something in common. They are internationally respected and admired, unfortunately not so much in their home country. To show how well the two genres go together, we have produced Achtung Mode’s current issue in Babelsberg, the famous film studios and theme park. Using the studio’s famous sets as backdrops — Marlene Dietrich shot there and nowadays big productions such as Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel or Inglourious Basterds were made there, we brought our fashion vibe to the small town outside Berlin. Also, we have asked the next Bond-girl-to-be, German actress Antje Traue, to slip into original costumes of famous Babelsberg productions as well as into epic designs from Akris all shot by Markus Jans. Model-heroine Luca Gajdus was shot by Ralph Mecke in a truly action-packed battle of titans shoot in this season’s most outstanding fashion pieces. Mecke also delivers a soft portrait of German cinema legend, the camera man Michael Ballhaus.

Achtung 28 is available at international selling points starting mid-September 2014. Find the latest issue already now at www.doyoureadme.de.
